Railways in China.

At last the Chinese are undertaking the
construction of railways. But it does not
appear that foreign syndicateS are to profit
by the changed attitude of the govern
ment. In May last there was Issued Il de-
cree sanctioning the building of railroads
north of the Pei-Ho river in the province
which contains the great city of Pekin.
A company composed of Chinese officials
was formed, and native capitalists were
urged to take stock. These capitalists,
however, were unwilling 10 invest.
Thereupon the yiceroy of the province
issued proclamation, in which the ad-
vantages to be derived from railway COM
munication were set forth, and the rich
We're advised that by delay they might
lose their opportunity. Investors still
declined to support the work, and it is
reported that French bankers have loaned
the government 81, 5G0, 900 TO be used in
building the road, which is TO extend
from the mouth of the Pei-Ho TO the in
terror by way of Tien-Tsin. While it is
proposed that a road connecting Pekin
with the sea shall be built, Chna's first
and only railroad-the line seven miles
long which affords an outlet for the coal
mines OF kai-ping is to be extended a
distance Of twenty-one miles, and work
upon the extension was in progress some
months agO.-New York Times.

How many know whence comes the
name Chatauqua and where the first Cha
tauquas had their habitation? Should the
question be asked, three-fourths of our
assembly would answer-from n place in
New York named from tribe of Indians.
Yet it owes its origin to our Old North
State-so great in beginnings of many
things. Chatauqua was the Indian name
of New Berne. To New Berne belongs
the honor of having given its name to our
great teachers meeting. There the first
Chatauquas-copper colored, black haired
savages, roamed and fished, much after
the fashion of their modern namesakes.
There De Graffenreid visited the king of
the country and bought the land on which
New Berne stands from Taylor the king
of the Chatauquas. He describes them as
n kindly race, who treated him to ''cider
and dumplins." That was, however be-
fore he was taken prisoner and nearly
killed by another portion of this great
Tuscarora tribe. The after history of this
tribe is well known. One of the Six Ma
tions, it rejoined the other five tribes in
New York, taking with it the name of its
Carolina home, the Chatauqua. a.-Raleigh

More and more do the streets of New
York flow, not with blood, but with
saliva. Its ejaculation, variously tine
tured with tobacco, etc, seems to be a
faYorite manifestation Of vulgarity and
offensiveness. In d memorial recently
addressed to the mayor by the Ladies
Health Protective association-a docu-
ment that has already borne fruit in the
matter of garbage collection-it is
madestly asked if it would be Objectionable
for the association to place signs about the
city, requesting the avoidance of expec-
toration on the sidewalks" We do not

the question, or whether he made any, but
we earnestly hope that this characteristic
American nuisance may be mitgiated in
some way.-N. Y, Medical journal.

The strenuous efforts a noted geograph-
ical publishing house of Brussels has Just
been making to issue a large map of the
Congo Independent State afford an anus
ing illustration of the rapid progress Of
discovery in that part of the world.
Nearly three months ago it was an
nounced that the map would be published
in two weeks. On the eve of printing
some new discoveries were announced and
publication was deferred in order to pat
them on the map. Later news from the
Congo, such as Van Gele's exploration of
the Mobangi afliuents and John DE Braz-
za's journey down the Licona, were so in
teresting that the photographers really
could not think of issuing their map with
out them, and so there were further de-
lays. The map was positively announced
for last week, but by the time 1t reaches
this country it will not be surprising If it

That the Swedish dairy farmers are

that Swedish butter will remain good for
a longer period than that, The Scandi-

sumers, these enterprising producers

Swedes really deserve to succeed. and if
they make good their experiment at
Manchester they will do it simply by
suiting the needs of their market-a
thing which most English producers will
not deign to do. So far as manufactures
are concerned. our great fault has been
in believing that because opr goods were
English they must necessarily please
foreign tastes But this is by no means

the Tartar is there in unadorned and un-
vanished ferocity. His beard is cropped
short, his mustache is clipped in a

the crowd, while his wife in a carriage
behind him was, next to the Princess of
Wales, the prettiest royalty in the show,
though, perhaps, the slightest suggestion
of shrewishness in her expression. The
grand duke was attired iD an exceedingly
picturesque hussar uniform The sha..,o

pefrauding the Public-''Luck."
The inventive genius shown by the
photographers respecting the Hohenzol-
lern family is really admirable. Hardly
day goes by that the shop windows do
rot present new combinations which are
eagerly bought by the patriotic people.
No photographs sell SO well as those of
the imperial family. The kaiser's
pictures, especially, are manufactured in
numbers and sent in quantities over all
Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
These, of course, are not genuine as a
rule, only the heads are so, while the
bodies and arrangements in general are
from other people or the product of a
fertile artistic fancy.
Great artists, however, follow this
same plan where their subjects are i'm
patient or lack time for extra sittings
Anton Won Werner, in his celebrated Bis
marck portrait, representing the chan
cellor resting his hand upon bundle of
papers, employed the porter of the Art
academy, whom he clothed in the uni
form Of the curassier regiment which
Bismarck wears. This detracts from the
interest of the picture, but it is the truth
But the photographers go further. The
enterprise of one brought him into court.
He had placed on exhibition in the show
window a photograph representing the
emperor with his great grandson upon
his knee. Naturally, the emperor had
never been photographed in this position
The alleged descendant of his majesty
was simply a pretty child of a Berlin
policeman, which closely resembled the
offspring of Prince William. The origi-
nator was fined because of ''intention-
ally defrauding the public" Lately
another of the same genie has appeared
in the windows, showing the emperor at
the historical window with the ruler of
the fourth generation at his side. This
picture has become tremendously popu-
lar, though not more genuine than its
predecessor, and for a wonder has not
been forbidden.
The latest of all is a picture entitled
"Hohenzollern Luck. " The grouping is
purely flight of fancy, though, one
should add, a very pretty one. The cen
ter of the group is, as usual, the emperor
standing on garden terrace, holding
with his left hand the son of Prince
William, who is clothed in white, and,
leaning his head upon the monarch, en-
deavors to grasp the latter's Iron
Cross" which adorns his breast The
second son stands on a wall near by.
while the eldest brother, holding a toy in
his hand, stands before the kaiser with a
look which seems to say, Il am future
ruler. On the right of the emperor
stands Prince William in the Hussar
uniform, bending over his wife, who
holds the youngest scion, August William,
born on the 21th of January. The Hanel
and the long avenues of the Potsdam
park form the background. 1t is really
a charming picture and deserving of its
title.-Berlin Cor. New York Tribune

irving to Break the Bank.

Two men who have just been arrested
by the Paris police had worked out a
system with view to breaking the bank
at Monte Carlo. They published q pamph-
let, in which they demonstrated to their
own satisfaction, and it appears to that of
a very large humber of dupes, that, if ap-
piled, 100, 900, 000f. could be made at rou-
lette III very short time with capital of
24,000f. Being circulated all over Europe,
this pamphlet resulted in its authors re-
ceiving thousands of letters, many of which
contained money for a trial of the system.
Before long they found themselves in
possession of G0,000f., and proceeded to
Monte Carlo to break the bank. Un-
fortunately for them, their first days
gambling did not end as they had antici-
pated, for instead Of having won 1000, 000f.
they had lost 24,000f. After that ex-
perience their faith in the infallibility Of
their system appears to have been wrecked,
for they returned to Paris with the re-
manning sc, 6,000f, and were arrested as
common swindlers. Transcript,

An illustration of the cleverness and
initiative powers of the japanese, which
might also serve to point an argument in
the discussion of the international copy
right question, is afforded by certain
japanese publications which have been
exhibited to the prominent officers Of the
state department. 1t appears that when
the study of English was made compul-
sorry in Japan number Of American
school books were imported and by formal
order made the text books of the native
schools. American book makers had
quite lucrative trade for a time But
the japanese soon turned their attention
to the subject, and after a few expert
ments began turning out clever reprints
of the American publications, of such ex-
cellence and in such quantities that the
demand for the American product has
now practically ceased. The only inferi-
ority Of the japanese books noticeable at
q casual examination is in the illustra-
tons, and this is accounted for by the
fact that the native engrayers have not
yet discovered the art of cutting their
pictures on the grain end Of the block,
but uniformly engrave on the side, which
results in a slightly blurred picture

Eighty Years of Busy Life.

Henry B. Stanton was an uncommon
man, born IL uncommon times. He
fought hard fight, and lived to see his
victory won. His first antislavery speech
was made before a school debating So
cicty in 1892, and during the years that
followed he was, according to Wilson'S
Rise and Fall of the Slave Power,
mobbed at least 900 times.
He saw Sam Patch Jump from the
falls in Rochester in 1929, never to rise
again; he describes Martin Van Buren,
dressed in an elegant snuff colored broad
cloth coat, with an orange cravat, vest
of pearl hue. and white duck trousers;
he heard DR.. Lyman Beecher defend
himself on trial for heresy at Cincin-
natl in 1884, and heard DIR Beecher' S
young SON Henry say publicly to his sire

Straight for the Knot Hole.

A man dug a well twenty-five feet from
a eucalyptus tree, lined it with cement,
and placed over it a substantial cover.
The water was carried to the house
from the well in wooden pipe. In that
wooden pipe was a knot hole In time
the well began to give out. The water,
too, was acquiring strange taste. Ex-
plorations developed the fact that the well
had been filed up with masses of euoa-
lyptus roots. The tree had run a root
straight for the knot hole, twenty-five
feet Off, and by that method gained the
well itself,-San Francisco Bulletin.
